This was photographed near Ely in Cambridgeshire this morning, on grass in a wild flower area near a natural pond. I haven't managed to find anything in my books with 4 really bright white spots on black as seen in the picture.

This is a lovely moth called Small China-mark, they have a very interesting life cycle and spend their larval lives in the water feeding on various pond weeds, not to mention when you get shots like yours with the wings open they are quite stunning. Nice job.
